Summer Camp
Specialty Camp
For kids who want to dive deeper into their passions, Specialty Camps offer a unique summer experience focused on specific activities like STEAM, theater, sports, and more—all while still incorporating the fun and friendships of traditional YMCA camp.
With smaller camp sizes and a mix of indoor and outdoor activities tailored to each interest, campers get hands-on learning, skill-building, and plenty of exciting challenges. Whether they’re developing their acting skills, discovering the world of science and engineering, or honing their athletic abilities, there’s a Specialty Camp for everyone!
Let your child explore, create, and play in a camp designed just for them—where they can grow their talents, try something new, and make unforgettable summer memories.
